(Temporary Cover)
NIGHTMARE has everything he could ever want- power, godhood, a bloodline, total control, and a partner who worships his every step. He had a few inconveniences along the way, but he could handle them with ease. His focus is now on raising his daughter and taking care of his wife and team. Despite being much more relaxed, he's still willing
CORE FRISK is the only surviving hero. The Star Sanses and even Error are either dead, infected, or brainwashed. They're running the DRA, the Doodlesphere Rescue Alliance, and have three current goals. One, find a cure to the parasite running rampant through the multiverse. Two, find a way to save their friends from Nightmare's mind control. Three, kill the king himself and restore peace to everyone. But that . . . is much more difficult than they can manage.
DREAM is the heartless ruler of the Omega Timeline. Trapped under Nightmare's spell, he has no empathy for anyone. He hasn't had any for the past 7 years. Yet something still haunts him. The cursed gold heart locket he always wore, that he hated, yet couldn't find the heart to get rid of. It gave him the motivation to fight back, so did the corruption in his soul and his smoking addiction slowly killing him.

"Bullseye" A Killermare story
Killer is a sans, and so is the rest of his crew. They call themselves "The Bad Sanses." They've all had one goal at some point in time, revenge. However, Killer is a unique specimen. He is an emotionless being. He feels nothing and nothing only. No remorse. No happiness. No mercy. All he knows is "kill," and that's how it's been for long time. However, one day he comes across a new particular type of Sans. A very colorful one. He feels something he hasn't felt for years. Freedom. Once Nightmare finds out, it's not pretty. Killer was his most loyal worker. So he decided he had to end this "friendship." The question Killer asks is, why? "Why do you need me to feel nothing? Why do you want me to be a part of your crew? You always tell me how useless I am. If I'm so useless, why do you need me?" Nightmare couldn't give him an answer. But, maybe, for once in his life, Nightmare feels something for only Killer that isn't so negative. 🎨COVER ART🎨 COVER ART WAS NOT CREATED BY ME, I REPEAT, NOT CREATED BY ME ART WAS CREATED BY pecil(BB) or @mm_loves_pencil ON TWITTER SUPER FREAKING TALENTED CHECK IT OUT!!!! ⚠️Warning⚠️ This fanfic is a little toxic.

Dream of Destruction: The Guardian
I don't own Undertale or the AU'S or Dreamtale. Don't own Fgod concepts. Absolutely none of the characters(I'msure someonewouldhaveputtogetersomethingsimmilareventually)... BOOK 1 The multiverse was still young when the first Error fell, Ink creating haphazardly without end. it was then the Deity had a desperate idea. for Nightmare had almost destroyed the AU, yet it was in the code's that one day the positive one would defeat him... and so it was that that statue was left in a world of blinding white. A destroyer Was needed... and a Fate was changed forever. ....the author does not control these characters be aware of this... they are scarring me. I own no characters. Just the concept of Dream becoming the glitchy destroyer of this multiverse. One in particular decided to advertise a freaking book he wrote! Ugh... and he ruined my hard work on the cover art ... luckily he's super hard to spot. Ugh! But 404 is too busy to deal with him- *Fresh as editor and administrator has taken the Temmies phone to stop her ranting. There are codes in this book, have fun!Complete
Given An Unwanted Second Chance
(TW: unaliving thoughts and memories at the beginning. It gets better over time, don't worry! Trauma is difficult to overcome...) You didn't want a second chance. You didn't want to survive. You wanted the sweet release of death. But it seemed like the universe was far too cruel to allow you even that. It took away your memories, your free will to choose whether you live or die...hell, it took the one thing in life you owned! Your own name! And now it seemed like you had to live yet another cruel life, doing things you never wanted done to others. But...at least you could do things your way. Maybe this second chance wouldn't be so bad... (Reincarnated as Nightmare Sans, but unlike other stories, you have no clue what Undertale even is) (WE REACHED NUMBER 1 IN THE UNDERTALE TAG YOOOOOOOO) (9/13/25)
